Which scale ?

if you are only looking to weigh your powder charges- the RCBS 500 goes to 505 grains which covers all powder weights for rifle and pistol and even shotgun.
and I would say get the 500 instead of the 1000 scale, and use the savings on a set of check weights to make sure 0=0

if you want to weight bullets for precision match loading to get all of them within .1 grains- you should be fine as well except for 50 cal bullets.
However, if that is the case, get a digital scale to make it easier on yourself.

I like the Hornedy 501

Go for the Dillon electronic balance.

I would get a good used RCBS/Ohaus 505 or if you are willing to spend more the 10-10 is outstanding.

I think I’m going none digital. Just simple (and a lil cheaper).

Agree. First scale should always be a balance beam. Cheap, reliable, lifetime use.

My beam scale has never run out of gravity in the middle of a reloading session in 30+ years yet. I always trust it. Get check weights though, well worth the expense.

The Ohaus scales are also branded as RCBS and Lyman. Models include the RCBS 502, 505, 5-10, 10-10, Lyman D-5, M-5

LOL!
May I steal that one?
